Search the 29,500+ indicator catalog, query country-level time series, pull poverty and inequality metrics from the Poverty and Inequality Platform, and search active and historical lending projects from any MCP client. Runs as a stdio process, a local Streamable HTTP server, or the public hosted endpoint above.
